Some of the poems, such as How Doth the Little Crocodile, make fun of earlier poems written as serious poems instructing children how to behave. Other poems in this book, such as The White Rabbit’s Evidence, are taken from novels the author has written for children. I thought that most of the poems themselves were quite entertaining. One poem in particular, Father William, made me laugh out loud. Although I enjoyed the poems, I did not like how this book was edited. There are a few sentences at the beginning of each poem explaining what the poem is about, and I found that this detracted from the poem itself. I know for myself that if I like a poem, I like it for itself, and explaining what is going on in a particular poem takes away from the enjoyment I get at just reading and interpreting it myself. I like Lewis Carroll’s poems, but I would not recommend this book of his poems in particular. I would find a book that has been not so heavily edited.

I enjoyed rereading Lewis Carroll’s poetry, and the illustrations in this particular volume were bright and appropriately fantastic. Many of the poems are from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, which I also enjoy. rebeccareid | May 2, 2009 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle Serie
With fantastic characters and enchanting, rhythmic, and sometimes nonsense language, Lewis Carroll created magical wonderlands. In his worlds, many things appear upside down and inside out, the rules of logic just don't apply, and everything pompous gets cut down to size. No surprise, then, that children love to visit there, sliding down the rabbit hole with Alice, battling the dreaded Jabberwock, or hunting for that mythical Snark. Carroll's classic works have never lost their fascination, and these 26 selections, along with Eric Copeland's savagely funny paintings that bring his fantastic realms to life, will become favorites with young readers. They'll also appreciate uncovering the true stories behind each tale and learning that many of Carroll's poems mocked the most popular--and humorless--verses of his period. Included are many beloved excerpts from the Alice books, as well as "The Walrus and the Carpenter," "Father William," and others, all especially wonderful to read aloud! Particularly beneficial for reading along with children are notes on unfamiliar words and recurrent themes, a word glossary, and a biography of the inscrutable and complex Carroll--aka Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.

This is a collection of poems by Lewis Carroll, not only the poems but the history and the background of the poems. Some of his poems he wrote as a young man and some of the poems. Many of these poems we have heard when we were younger such as Tweedledeum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty’s Song. Carroll is a very funny and unpredictable person and his poems reflect that.
Personal Review:
I enjoyed this book, I loved reading the poems and remembering back to my childhood. I really enjoyed the introduction in the beginning of the book that gave some background into the book. I really liked that each poem had background information and explained when it was written his inspiration for writing the poem.
Classroom Extension:
1. This would be a great book to introduce poetry to the class, and have a class discussion about poetry.
2. Magnetic Poetry, put students in small groups giving each group a cookie sheet and magnetic words. Have each group use the words to make their own poems.
